A series of new not-for-proft children's homes are to open across Liverpool City Region in the next five years.
A £2.2m plan has been developed to support the opening of new homes, the first two of which will be in Oxton and Wallasey on the Wirral. Liverpool City Region’s combined authority is to contribute £800,000 to the project that will lead to 10 sites opening in total.
Additional properties have been identified in Sefton and Halton through the scheme run by We are Juno CIC. The community interest company estimates that 57 jobs could be created through the plan, with the first Wirral home to open early next year.
